I don't know if this is intentional, but the "thing" obscures the page. Can it be made to be part of the page? I know you can close it, but I hate having to do that EVERY time (perhaps log the fact that it has been closed in my cookie, and don't keep displaying it).

Allow me to quote myself for context (with added emphasis):

This widget is on the lefthand side of the page, covering up text. A horizontal version is coming soon.

I don't know what you mean by "a part of the page" -- I assume you mean static and doesn't move? -- but that wouldn't help here, since where it is on the lefthand side would cover up something regardless. Anyway, any change like that would require additional work, which we will instead put into the horizontal version (not sure if you're familiar

I mean stop making it a floating widget over the page. Put it somewhere into the main part of the page. Does it need to float? I guess it *might* help on slashdot with hundreds of comments, but frankly it's just painful this way here.

OK.

Yes, but only because it is on the side of the page. It's been horizontal and floating on useperl for months, and I cannot recall a complaint about it. So when we get the horizontal version of this one working, I suspect you will find it unobtrusive.

GEe, what a question. I don't want to use it, because I don't like it one bit, and now you want me to give a detailed critique.

So, what's wrong with it. It gets in the way. It's big, it's about twice as high and twice as wide than it needs to be. It's not attached to the window, nor to the document, which are the only two acceptal modes, in my book. Instead, it's floating around, with a mind of its own. There's no way to get rid of it, it's always covering something. And you can't scroll the page from und

Not particularly, but the point I was originally making was that I was not inclined to change it because no one was complaining. You responded you didn't like it. Well, fine, but that's not enough for me to change it... wouldn't you agree?

Much wider than it needs to be, yes. Not sure about high. (I assume you are talking about the horizontal bar that was here previously, and will return in some form, and not the current vertical one.)

It's not attached to the window, nor to the document, which are the only two acceptal modes, in my book.
